thedothatgirlI think I threatened to post some pics last year and for whatever reason it never happened. This year, my flist, you get a sneaky peak at the delights of Tuscany :D
As it was unbelievably hot this year (43 deg C) and in Florence twice as busy we limited the amount of sightseeing - We revisited Florence and the Uffizi, found a less busy Medieval Fortified Town of Anghiari (peaceful and very picturesque) Lucca - the birthplace of Puccini, the Ducati Factory at Bologna (Mecca for John) and Viareggio on the coast. The rest of the time was spent lolling about by the pool, eating, sleeping and drinking.
Well you would be miffed if the pidgeons kept sittng on your head.....
Beware of the stylish dog.
Anghiari - Medieval Fortified Town.
Ponte Vecchio from the Uffizi - the bridge is packed with jewellery Shops, so much bling. I looked real hard but nothing took my fancy.
THe hotel in Pisa - San Croce in Fossabanda a former Monastery. Very tranquil.
West Front Doorway on the main church in Lucca - the mythical beasts reminded me much of the ones on Lincoln Cathedral - Far more interesting than Angels and Saints.
David.
I might post some more soonish - there is a rather fetching statue from the Piazza della Signora which I tagged ' Clingy bints and nude man with helmet' - It's rather fetching.
